Watch Ted Leo's Misfits Tribute Show

Ted Leo IS Glenn Danzig

When Monsters of Folk dressed up as Kiss at a Halloween show, it was awesome. But you know what just might be an even better group costume than Kiss? The motherfucking Misfits. Cheaper. Tougher. Better songs. Slightly less fear of smudging makeup.

On Halloween night in Philadelphia, Ted Leo gathered some friends and did the Monsters of Folk one better. They played twoentire sets as the Misfits. And yes, there are videos of it online now.

You're welcome.

On Halloween night, Leo's Misfits tribute band TV Casualty played a benefit for the People's Emergency Center at the Philly venue Kung Fu Necktie. The band also included Leo's Pharmacists drummer Chris Wilson as well as former Atom and His Package mastermind Atom Goren and members of Franklin and Paint It Black.

It's pretty incredible how Leo never breaks character on the Danzig impression he's probably spent his entire life perfecting. Bonus points for ignoring chronology long enough to play Danzig's solo classic "Mother". Also, amazing crowd.

Warning: If you're anything like me, the below videos could send you into a very serious spiral of high school nostalgia.
